To disable the Automatically Detect Settings check box, set the value of
this DWORD to 1.
(Enable = 0)

THIS DOES NOT WORK

2. Change local GP to referrence mode on IE - User config/windows settings/IE maintenence. I then used import settings and took the tick off.

THIS DOES NOT WORK

3. I then tried creating the following key from a script I found on the web that WORKS for the current user logged on but for some reason if I set this in the default user it changes it after I login to a tick on the auto detect settings.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=hex:3c,00,00,00,11,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00.

I think I need to use number 3 to change the DefaultConnectionSettings but how do I stop XP from changing it back when a new user loggs in locally.
